From the log

When Columbus discovered Dominica he described it to Queen Isabella by crumpling a piece of paper to show its terrain. It has valleys, gorges, and volcanic peaks that are covered in lush green vegetation. It claims 365 rivers, 29 waterfalls, and 8 volcanic peaks. We loved the island and really had a great time exploring the rainforests and mountains. If Columbus returned today it might be the only island he would recognize, because Dominca has kept its natural beauty with very little development. We took lots of pictures and had a hard time narrowing down the ones to include. So this entry has lots of shots!

    Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

    We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

    My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

    Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
